Review from Chloë E.
Vancouver, BC
11/10/2008
You'll find this craft heaven in the midst of an industrial park. Enter through a side door to a mildly sketchy warehouse and head down a long, dark corridor.
Initially, I regretted heading to Wicks and Wax by myself (having watch too many CSIs where nothing good comes from women walking through sketchy warehouses alone). But finding a store dedicated solely to soap and candle making was worth it.
Having been inspired to make my own Christmas presents last year, I googled locations for stocking up on a long list of random products: melt-and-pour glycerin soap, candle and soap shapes, wicks, scents, coloring, and wax. Wicks and Wax was pretty much my only option in GVRD.
The staff provided excellent help and were very patient with me, despite my limited understanding of wick width and its effect on the flame height and burning speed of a candle. Don't be afraid to ask questions, plus the store website offers plenty of definitions and tips. You won't find this same quality, quantity, or variety of product at Michael's or DeSerres.Listed in: Crafty Vancouver
